Game freezes when I try to use potions

• Are you using any mods in your game ?
• DId you add or change anything about your game ?
• Do you have other freezing issues or is this the only one ?
• Does the game unfreeze and what happens when it does ?

I use no mods, no CC.  

Only WA.  I sent my family to France and Eqypt.  The potion problem occured afterwards.

I had the China boulder freeze problem with another game  Went right away when I used reset all sims.  I also occasionally freeze very briefly at 3:59am simtime.  Respawn maybe?

The game unfreezes and everything is normal unless I try to use a potion.

Very weird.

Does it matter what kind of potion ? Can you maybe narrow it down to some effect the potion has or the Sim that is using it or does it not matter who does it and on whom ?

I didn't try all the potions my alchemist had, but neither she nor the family member she'd given some to could use different potions.  She could consign them without problem, but not drink, thow etc.
